5 burning questions for The White Lotus season 2, episode 2

We’re only one episode into season two of The White Lotus and we’re already invested in a (mostly) new cast of characters and the sumptuous Italian setting. Just like that, we’ve moved on from piña coladas to Aperol spritzes. Armond who? Shane what? We’ve got no-nonsense resort manager Valentina (the wonderful Sabrina Impacciatore) and Theo James stripping down to his nethers in full view of Aubrey Plaza. What a way to kick things off. As we look forward to the second episode, we’re already starting to wonder how things will unravel over the course of the season, because we know they will. We’ve already addressed the big question of who will die by the end, but there’s still plenty left to speculate about. Here are some of the burning questions we’re pondering heading into episode two.

One of the most talked-about scenes in the premiere was the one in which Cameron changes into his swim trunks as Harper watches from the bathroom mirror. Along with Harper, we got an eyeful of Cameron’s junk, which was not insubstantial (although apparently we almost saw ). So far Theo James hasn’t said whether a prosthetic was involved or not, leaving fans to their own speculation. He did suggest that the meaning of the scene will become clearer later in the season. It could be explained away as a misunderstanding, since she was in the bathroom and he didn’t expect her to look. Or did he? How will Harper interpret it? And what will her husband think about his college roommate flashing his wife? Lastly, we have to ask, is there any more surprise nudity in store?

    She did share this moment of weirdness with her husband. Toward the end of the first episode, while in bed together, she mentions it to her husband who just writes it off.

    Question #1: Meghann Fahy shore is purdy . . .

  • richardalinnii-av says:

    Uh, she already told her husband about it?

    So repressed wife bangs husband’s (who things ball caps are dress clothes) college roommate and husband kills them both?

    I hope the hassled assistant finally “gets some dick” from F Murray Abraham’s cute grandson. She deserves it!

    It took me awhile to warm up to season 1 and even after it was all said and done – I thought it was fine/good. But here I am, 1 episode in, I am already way more invested in this season. I look forward to seeing where this cast of miserable richies end up – and who is the floater – but I do hope the weird-ass music tones down just a bit. I like that we “know” Tanya & Greg, but that is all that carried over from S1 to S2.
